If there is a lack of slashing or dribbling prowess from Scott and Diarra playing from the perimeter (and neither possesses much of an inside scoring threat)...how do we work them into an offensive scheme? I can imagine a guy like Williams (or Moore) fitting in by virtue of being able to slash and drive as well as being able to knock down an outside shot. Williams may be athletic enough to help block a couple of shots on the interior. Diarra has 3-4 inches on these guys but Scott may only have 1-2 inches or so. Diarra has a better chance of defending inside as well has a better outside shot (than Scott) but I'm not sure he's going to be a better option than going small. He has to fit into the flow of the game and not be a cog in the wheel for movement. I think you are right...Diarra seems like a gym rat so his potential is very positive in years to come but until he develops reliable moves inside or getting in the lane from the perimeter...he might be somewhat of a stall point on the perimeter with the ball. Perhaps less than Scott. If Scott can't fix his shot...he may be relegated to a defensive stopper in our system. |

The things I know about Tre Scott that I don't know about Diarra- Scott sets great picks/ had17 steals in 356 min. to Kyle Washington's 13 in 889 min./ played great defense without getting into foul trouble(like Brooks and Quadri) and had a much better assists/turnover ratio than K.W. or Q.M.- Hope he improves his FT shooting. Diarra looks awesome on paper but can he stay in front of people/ stay out of foul trouble and not turn the ball over.

The question becomes...is the defensive help better than the offensive output? |

Said on Twitter he is announcing his school of choice tomorrow. You gotta think we are out of it considering he obviously isn't coming on his visit.

Weren't people saying Nebraska was in good shape? He certainly would've been an interest project. But I'm sure we'll find someone else out there who can give us what we're looking for.
